Translation from Spanish
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the Origin of all things, the One who gives meaning to all creation.
I am the Risen One. I am the living and powerful Word that, when it enters hearts, divides thoughts, brings clarity, gives answers, raises what had fallen, and strengthens what had grown weak. I am the living Word that, when it enters hearts, brings light where there was darkness.
I am the Life, I am the Way, and I am the Truth that opens the eyes of the blind. I am the Bread of Life, says Jesus. I am the One who rescues the lost.
I am the One who seeks the sheep that was lost. I am the One who cares for the wayward, for those who stray, for those who forget the revelation of who I am. I am the One who knocks at the door and comes into everyone who chooses to open the door to Me.
I am the Lord. I am the King who rules in hearts willing to be ruled. I am the perfect Gift for all who choose to believe in My name.
I am Jesus, the Son of God, the Immaculate One, whose garments shine brighter than the sunlight, brighter than snow reflecting its rays.
Oh, little ones, will I find faith when I return? says the Lord. For I am testing many in many ways. I am stripping many of everything that bound them, everything they clung to, because I want them free, little ones: free to be worthy of Me, free to follow Me to the end, just as I am with you to the end.
Little ones, understand who I am, says the Lord Jesus: the Savior of wayward souls, the One who looks down upon the world, seeking which of those souls mired in mud, without hope or rescue, will choose to accept My help to bring them out.
I am the Merciful One, says Jesus, who out of love gave My whole body, not merely a part of it, for those who open their hearts to receive the truth of the gospel of life.
Little ones, do not forget who I am, says the Lord. Do not forget that first love you felt for Me when you found Me, when you came to know Me, when I revealed Myself to you. Little ones, be aware of who your Creator is. Know your Redeemer, for difficult times are coming, children.
Everything will shake beneath your feet, and when you feel the earth tremble, when you see everything falling around you, when you see the knees of many grow weak, you must hold fast to the certainty of who I am. For the only hand that can rescue you from what is coming is Mine, says the Lord, and unless you cling firmly to Me, even if you cling to a thousand men, no one will be able to hold you up.
Oh, My beloved, the earth will stagger like a drunkard. The nations will cry out in pain, despair, and fear. People will run to and fro, crying out for help, asking to be saved. And there, in the midst of that despair, you, My beloved children, will be a light shining amid the darkness growing over the world.
Little ones, have hope, says the Lord, for I am here, I have been here, and I will remain here, steadfast at your side, though you cannot see Me. For I want you to follow Me by faith and not by sight, knowing that I am there even when you do not see Me, believing what I tell you even when what I say has not yet come to pass.
My beloved, stand firm on the only Rock that will remain standing when all things are shaken, for nothing around you will be left. I alone will remain in your lives, for I am the only One who does not abandon, says the Lord. I am the only One who does not desert. I am the only One who is not a coward who abandons those He loves when evil overtakes them.
I do not move; I am immovable, says the Lord. I do not leave those who cling to Me as their only pillar. You need not doubt Me, for I will always be there. You need not distrust Me, for I will never betray you; My blood flowed from the nail holes because I love you so much.
Little ones, do not doubt, says the Lord. Do not doubt, for a shaking is coming, terror is coming upon the nations, the unthinkable is coming, and catastrophes without equal are coming. You will be able to see them through your windows. You will be able to smell the dust of earthquakes in your own cities. You will be able to hear the cries of those who fear what will happen on the earth.
You will witness the fire of testing rise and grow stronger, says the Lord, and those who are not Mine will certainly be burned. But those who belong to Me will come through these things victorious, with better character, more humble and more surrendered, for that is how I will refine them.
Oh, little ones, do not lose faith, says the Lord. Do not lose hope. Trust Me that there is a reason things must be this way. You do not need to understand everything that happens to believe that I still love you and still care for you.
Stand firm and be prepared, for the great shaking is coming, and I will test many.
Some will stumble, says the Lord, but afterward they will get up. When the earth shakes beneath someone’s feet, that person may fall, then stand and keep going. Many will respond in this way. They will feel weak at that moment, but if they keep their eyes fixed on Me, I will help them rise.
Others will use those trials, those catastrophes, those shakings, not only to survive and remain standing, but also to help others, and they will be useful instruments amid these things.
But you will also see deserters, little ones. There will also be those who grow cold because of these things, for faith goes missing when things go wrong. It is amid affliction that the gleam of this precious gold called faith becomes clearest.
Have hope, the Lord repeats, and do not falter, for I am with you. I take you by the hand and sustain you.
If you rely only on people, there will be times when you feel alone and cannot endure, for people are weak even when they want to help. But if you hold on to Me, you will have a strong Rock that is never destroyed, never broken, and never worn away.
Little ones, understand that I alone will remain forever at your side if you accept and receive Me. So rejoice, says the Lord. Be glad and joyful, for you have a gift: the gift of salvation, the gift of a just King, the gift of a faithful Friend.
Rejoice, says the Lord, even when your hearts grow faint. Rejoice, for I am there to weep with you; when you suffer, I suffer too, and when you smile, My heart rejoices.
I am there not only to accompany you, says Jesus, but also to suffer and rejoice with you. I am there to tell you to keep going when you think you cannot go on. I am there to guide you when you do not know which way to go. I am there to lift your chin when your head hangs low. I am there to wipe away the tears as they run down your cheeks.
I am there. I am there to place My hand on your chest and bring you comfort and warmth. I am there, little ones.
Set your eyes on heavenly things when you pass through the fire of testing. Amid all that you will have to endure, if you do not learn to look up, you will faint, says the Lord, for those who look down have no hope for what is coming and cannot imagine what awaits them when all that evil has passed.
But those who look up, who know that they have a heavenly homeland and are fellow heirs with Me of heavenly things, feel encouraged and strengthened, for they understand that what is happening to them is only temporary, passing, fleeting, and lasts no time at all compared with eternity.
Understand that things must be this way, little ones. Understand that I must prepare My people so that when I come and take them up to where I am, they will already have been perfected, washed, justified, and tested in various ways to see whether they are truly worthy of eternal grace.
Trust in Me and not in what people tell you, says the Lord, for people lie to you, but I do not.
You must ask yourselves in your hearts: “What am I willing to do for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, to be worthy of entering it? What am I willing to stop doing so that my Lord will find me worthy of entering that wedding feast? Which people am I willing to give up, if necessary, to follow my Master? How much of my life, what I own, my family, and my loved ones could I give up? How much could I do for love of Jesus?”
Search your hearts, says the Lord. Examine yourselves and ask: “What binds me and keeps me from being ready to give my life to God, if necessary, today?” For if I came today, many of you would not be willing to let go of what you have and would not be free to be taken up.
That is why I am testing many and stripping many, says the Lord, not only of their possessions but of anything they value more than Me.
I am destroying idols to prepare you to serve Me alone, for many of you have heavy things that bind you and keep you from rising and being completely free to be carried by the wind of the Holy Spirit. You are not ready, and if I returned today and called you by name, you would be willing to go with Me, but the weight you carry would keep you from rising.
So give up your past, but give up your present as well, says the Lord. Deny yourselves. Lay down every burden. Leave your desires behind to fulfill Mine.
Give up, too, the future so many of you dream of, so that you can dream of a future in Me, for I will demand everything of you, says Jesus. And I will see how far the love of those who say they love Me reaches. I will test whether those who say they want to follow Me truly do. And I will demand everything of those who have much, for I will make My precious stones shine.
That is why you must be ready, says the Lord. But many are not ready today. They say they follow Me, but they follow Me only halfway; the rest of the way, they follow themselves. They say they love Me, but love is measured by obedience, for those who love Me obey Me. They say they are willing to do anything for My sake, but when I ask them for something that hurts to give up, something they do not want to release, they say, “Oh, no. Not that. I’ll give You everything, but not that. I’ll give up everything except that.”
Look around you and ask yourselves what you are unwilling to give up in order to serve Me. For I am speaking to many hearts, says the Lord, showing them what they must let go of, yet many still cling to the very things they are afraid to release. Their eyes are set on their own concerns and interests, not on Mine.
You often deceive yourselves, believing that everything is fine up to that point, says the Lord, and that is why many of you feel stuck. You ask Me to move you forward; you ask Me for movement, changes, and new things. You say to Me, “Lord, I want to serve You. Why is everything so quiet in my life? Why is nothing happening?”
Then, when I show you the problem that keeps you from moving and the stones you must clear from your path so you will no longer feel stuck, you shut the door on Me. It is like a patient who goes to a doctor to be healed, but when the doctor is about to operate, the patient runs away, saying, “I’d rather not. It will hurt. I’m not willing to suffer like that.” So the patient remains as before or grows worse.
That is how many of My own people are. They ask Me for something, but when I give them the solution to that problem, they are unwilling to obey or give up what they want. That is not following Me, says the Lord. That is following themselves.
Children, be ready, for to be counted worthy to escape certain things that are coming upon the earth, you must be willing to heed the counsel I will give you.
I am telling many to move to another city. I am telling many to close their businesses. I am telling many that it is time to cut family ties. I am giving many of you different kinds of instructions, foreseeing what is coming in different parts of the world, so that you can escape those things.
Yet you do not respond, says the Lord. You prefer to make your own decisions. You prefer to stay where you feel safe. You prefer to cling to things I am asking you to release or to people I am asking you to let go. And later, when the flood comes, when the tsunami comes, when the tornado comes, you will ask Me, “Why did You leave me here, Lord?”
I care for My own, says the Lord, but you must listen to the warnings I am giving My people and respond wisely and quickly. I am warning the whole world and sounding the alarm in different ways: placing signs in heaven and on earth, giving dreams, visions, and prophecies, speaking to you through angels and in other ways. But many of My people do not respond.
Be quick to respond, says the Lord. Keep watch, even while you sleep. Cling to nothing and no one, for when you cling to something, you cannot remain in Me; a grape clinging to another tree cannot remain on the vine at the same time.
Oh, little ones, be ready, says the Lord, not for some distant day, but for today. Be ready and prepare your hearts. Accept, take in, and understand what is coming upon the world, what I am speaking through many mouths.
Believe Me, for many among My people say, “It is not for now; it is for later. It is not for this place; it is for somewhere else. That will not happen to me, because I am righteous.”
But even the righteous are being tested and will be tested to see whether they are worthy of an incorruptible kingdom, whether they themselves are incorruptible, whether they remain steadfast despite temptations, trials, need, rejection, betrayal, lost love, loneliness, and many other things.
The trial of Job is coming for many of My people, for the good will also be tested, says the Lord.
Are you ready? How much of what you have are you willing to give up to touch My garments? Whose face would you most want to see if you had to choose? Is it your children’s faces, or is it Mine? Whose face do you desire most to see? In whose eyes would you like to lose yourself for a while? Are they your husband’s eyes, or are they My eyes? says Jesus.
Have you weighed what matters most to you? Is it your work in the world, or is it I, your Savior, who gave My life for you on that cross? What matters most to you? Is it receiving My embrace and blessing when you finish the course in victory, or the embrace and blessing of men? Whose recognition matters most to you? Is it the recognition I want to give you when I place the crown of life on your head, or the titles men give you in churches? says Jesus.
What weighs more in your balance? Is it your pets? Do your puppies weigh more than eternal life? Is a luxury car worth more than the mansions I have prepared for you in the kingdom of heaven?
Unimaginable riches are prepared for those who give up everything for love of Me, says the Lord. No mind can imagine, unless I choose to reveal it, what I have prepared for those who give up all they have, all they love, and even their own lives if I should demand it.
Little ones, you cannot imagine how much more weight what I have prepared for you carries, if only you would place your hearts on that side of the balance.
Reflect and search your hearts to discover anything in your lives that outweighs following Me. Is it earning the approval of others? Is it being accepted by your family? Is it finding a partner who matters more to you than I do? Is it a promotion at work that makes you feel more valuable than the value I gave you on the cross?
What is it? For whatever you find to be an idol in your life, I want to destroy it.
I demand one hundred percent of your life, says the Lord. I demand one hundred percent of your finances. I demand one hundred percent of your body. I demand one hundred percent of your thoughts and your heart. I demand one hundred percent of your love.
I demand a complete sacrifice, pleasing and fragrant to Me, for I did not give only one hand for you. I did not give up one leg while keeping the other; I gave Myself completely so that you could live and be a fellow heir with Me in the kingdom of heaven.
I will demand that you remove anything that comes between us. I want you to put aside anything that keeps Me from drawing near to you, says the Lord. I ask this not to make you suffer, but to be able to touch you, for us to be closer than before, for you to know Me better, understand Me, trust Me, and believe in Me more.
I want one hundred percent, says the Lord, because when I return in the clouds and call My own to rise, when I come with My angels to take them up, I will take those who are already ready. Some will want to rise but will not be able to, like a bird that wants to fly but cannot because a shackle on one of its legs binds it to the earth.
That is how many of you are, says the Lord, and in this season I will continue to show you whether a shackle binds you to the earth without your realizing it.
The trouble is that you want to follow Me without leaving behind what you must leave behind. You want to follow Me, but first you want to fulfill your own desires, like the man who said to the Lord, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father. First I want to marry and have a family and children, and then I will follow You, Lord. First I want to fulfill this dream, and then I will listen to You, Lord.” And so many are not ready to follow Me.
When I come, I want to find you ready, says the Lord, for only the free will rise with Me. Only those who count everything else as rubbish compared with My glory will be taken up and brought into the eternal Kingdom.
What binds you? asks the Lord Jesus. What holds you back? Is it a girlfriend who is not good for you? Are you obeying people more than My voice?
What is it? Is it perhaps what you are studying, which you never asked Me about? Is it entertainment that leaves you no time to pursue Me?
What holds you back? Is it the vanity that has captivated you? Are your possessions what make you feel secure? What is more valuable than following the One who saved you from the pit?
Can those things give you eternal life? They will not last forever; they are not eternal.
Are you ready? If you are not, begin to let go of what I ask you to release, says Jesus. Let it fly away if you want to fly. Look to Me instead of looking outward. Make up your mind and take that step of faith.
Noelia: I am seeing someone who dreamed that they were afraid to take a step forward because there was nothing beneath their feet. It is the Lord calling you to take a step of faith.
Live by faith, says the Lord, and then you will be ready, not only for what is coming but also for My coming. Those who live by faith will never hunger or thirst, and even if persecution comes, they will remain standing.
Be ready and full of faith, says the Lord, trusting in Me, for I did not say it would be easy, but I said you would have victory, just as I had victory first; I said you would overcome, just as I overcame first.
Let go, little ones; let go of that house that is causing you so many problems. Your heart is so worried and occupied with so many things that there is no room for Me. But when you let them go, your heart will be free to be filled with new things. Releasing the worry that occupied your whole heart will make room for you to be filled with My love.
Many of you are bound to many things, and that lack of spiritual freedom keeps you from feeling the joy of the Spirit as you should.
Let go, as someone standing on a dock watches a ship sail away. Yes, loved ones may be aboard, says the Lord, but let that ship go, for I want to fill the emptiness it leaves.
Have hope, for there is no emptiness I cannot fill, says the Lord. Let go, for you can bring nothing aboard the ark except faith and hope.
My beloved, travel light, says the Lord, for only one person at a time can pass through the door. You cannot enter holding your child by the hand. You cannot enter embracing your granddaughter. You cannot enter with that house you refuse to give up. No car can pass through that door. No father or mother can accompany you, much less a land, a nation, or an entire family.
You enter through the door alone, says the Lord. Understand this and free yourselves of heavy and unnecessary things. Many of you even love material objects such as clothing or technology, and you do not realize how attached you are to them.
Examine your hearts, says the Lord, for the heart is deceitful above all things, and you will find that you are attached to absurd things that cannot compare with what was done on the cross.
Give up and let go of everything, so that I can put wings on your backs and you can rise as never before.
